author juliana gleeson is coming to rokko to talk about her new book 'hermaphrodite logic, intersex liberation'.
how does the intersex liberation movement learns us to rethink sex and gender? intersex people have been harmed not just for therapeutic reasons but to ease professional and parental anxieties. juliana gleeson reveals how a movement challenged systemic medical abuses to reshape our understanding of sex.
“‘hermaphrodite logic’ is exactly what antifascists need: an eminently usable ensemble of political theory and strategy grounded in historical counter-reality.” - sophie lewis, author of ‘abolish the family’
